Amidst all the frivolity of late looms another gross example of Beane's incompetence. Two winters ago he picked up Edwin Encarnacion on waivers, but cut him loose a month later so as not to upset the illustrious Kevin Kouzmanoff. Encarnacion's career has exploded since his return to Toronto, highlighted by this year's 21 HR in 69 games, just one behind JOSH HAMILTON. Kouzmanoff meanwhile is hitting .261 with 0 HR for the Omaha Stormchasers.
